• Mannix Will Not Support Erickson.   (KGW) [The OR Conservative is with Mannix on this one. It is time to cease supporting fake Republicans. Erickson is part of the Ford/Packwood/Saxton crowd whose intent it is to change the character of the GOP to something completely unlike the platform. His campaign is part of the national GOP campaign to kill off all past factions of the Ronald Reagan ilk. They didn't accomplish it in 1960 when Carter beat Ford. They are trying to do now what they didn't accomplish then, and with no sincere Reagan counterpart they believe they can finally do it. STICK TO YOUR GUNS KEVIN.]
